Load lock rack

A load lock rack for supporting a load lock having an adjustable length shaft with an integral bearing pad on each of opposite ends thereof, comprising:

• a generally planar and horizontal shelf-like supporting surface having a front edge and a rear edge spaced from said front edge, said shelf-like supporting surface having a plurality of openings each extending from said front edge to at least a point generally intermediate said front and rear edges to receive the shaft of a load lock in a generally vertical orientation, said openings being formed such that a bearing pad on at least one end of the shaft of a load lock cannot pass through;
• means for mounting said shelf-like supporting surface with said rear edge adjacent a side wall of a load hauling transport, said mounting means including an upwardly extending plate generally coextensive and integral with said rear edge of said shelf-like supporting surface to be secured by fasteners to the side wall in proximity to a roof of the load hauling transport, said upwardly extending plate being disposed generally perpendicular to said shelf-like supporting surface;
• and
• means for maintaining a load lock on said load lock rack during transport of the load hauling transport when the load lock is positioned on said load lock rack.
